Sabers men's basketball legend Yujin Yamamoto (2013 AISA all-star, AISA champion, Sabers captain) capped his high school basketball career at New Hampton School, home of one of the top high school basketball programs in the US, by receiving the Huskies 2015 men's varsity basketball coaches' award.

The coaches award is presented to the player who showed the most dedication, best attitude, and strongest work ethic throughout the season. Those of you familiar with Yujin's play and workouts here as a Saber will not be surprised at Yujin's receiving of this honor.

Congratulations, Yujin. You followed your dream and achieved great success - and did your old school proud.

At Canadian Academy (CA) in Kobe, the boys defeated host CA and Yokohama International School (YIS) twice each to go undefeated and take home the 2015 WJAA championship trophy. The boys conceded no goals in the 4 matches while scoring a total of 12 goals in a dominant performance. Congratulations, Coach Driver and Coach Entwistle (and chaperone Coach Routh).

At the K﻿G Sanda campus, SOIS hosted the WJAA tournament, featuring teams CA from Kobe and YIS from Yokohama, plus the Sabers JV team. In the end the CA Falcons went undefeated, beating the Sabers 1-0 in the championship match, to take home the 2015 WJAA title. Congratulations, Falcons.

The Sabers JV put in a superb ﻿effort in their 3 pool games, and the 3rd/4th place game, whilst the Sabers varsity team played exciting attacking football throughout the tournament, pushing CA right to the final whistle in the championship match.

For the Sabers girls, Fuka Ugai, Fuka Kariya, May Murakami-Smith, China Mori and Haruna Tomiguchi were named to the all-tournament team. Well done, Sabers varsity and junior varsity girls teams, and Coach Frater and Coach Fitzpatrick.

It was not the final result the Sabers middle school girls basketball team had hoped for at the 2015 WJAA tournament at Marist Brothers International School in Kobe, but the team had plenty of fun along the way. The team finished 4th overall. Akari was named the Sabers MVP. Congratulations, Coach Entwistle and Coach Mecklem.
